Twenty Twenty Eight is a fast paced adventure set against a background of political speculation, in the near future, when oil and energy resources are entirely depleted. The story focuses on the inter-action between the various characters and their enduring love for one another, when confronted by a totalitarian state in near collapse; a state that is being forced into surrender by subversive gangs taking over the cities. The action centres on a group of people who stockpile food, arms and ammunition in a disused lead mine in order to defend themselves against desperate, half-starved hoards pouring out of the cities. Eventually they realise their situation is becoming hopeless and decide to escape the horror altogether. Heading across country to a small schooner they sail away to what they believe will be a new Utopia. But what awaits them is something just as ominous. In this fast paced but wonderfully evocative novel David Greason Walker paints a strikingly vivid picture of how our world could be in the not too distant future. But he also applauds love, adventure and wide exotic landscapes, giving hope for the future however arduous life may become. The story also explores the part myth, part reality of our modern world; the spectacle of a life we are supposed to believe in, as opposed to the truth behind the spectacle!

In this romantic adventure story David Greason Walker applauds youth, life, love, adventure and the wide landscapes that are far beyond the restrictions of a cosy fireside. The story explores the twilight world between youth and adulthood, with its mixture of idealism, love, realism and sheer caprice. When Carl Hafod first meets Vreni outside a busy pub on a cold, snow-blown winter's day, he is totally unaware of the new direction his life will follow; including the discovery of a hoard of Nazi gold and how the gold has political implications that have remained buried in secrecy since World War Two. The story revolves not only around Carl and Vreni, and Carl's business interests in Fiji, but also around the lives of six other closely knit students. How they become victims of the ever increasing value of the gold. The final decisions they make and the all-encompassing passion Carl feels for Vreni and her abject beauty.

The author, a prodigious writer himself, leads the reader through technical writing with one towering underlying assumption -- technical writing need not be ponderous! Much of this book applies to most writing, for the mechanics of good writing remain the same, whether for fiction or non-fiction.
